i T call whom 'it concern:l

. --Be it known' that- JOSEPH KENNEDY, a

citizen of theIlnited Statesa'nd a resident of ,thevcity,.county, and Stateof New York,.

have invented certain new and usefulIm- Aprovements j in Adjustable Suspension- Brackets, of which the follovving is a speci.` icatio-nj reference b eing had to the accompanying drawings7 forming a part thereof.

This invention relates to an improvement pending material-'from ceilings or Walls.

The object of the 'invention is to provide a simpleinexpensive bracket, which is read` ily adjustable and which has advantages over thc se heretofore constructed.

I. will describe my invention in the fol-l j'loyving specication and point out the novel features thereof in the appended claims.

bodiment of the invention comprises a plate i or bar 1 recessed 'at 12 and `provided with lugs 14, 15 which areA adapted to bear against the Wall or ceiling 16 upon which the bracket is mounted.' The plate 10 is provided with an 'elongated slot 18 through which a bolt .20 is adapted to pass, said boltI being thread.- ed into a' metal anchorage 22 secured Within the Wall 16 in any suitable manner. By this construction the ,bar 10 may be adjusted as desired within the limits'of the slot 1S and then clamped in position by the bolt 20.

'A stud '24 isA threaded at one end into the bar 10 adjacent to one end of the slot 18, and the `other end o f the stud is threaded into a boss 26 vof a yoke 28 formingv one halfof a pipe hanger. A strap 30 is secured at each end to the yokeQS by screws Q9' and co-A operates therewith to hold a pipe32 or other ,piece of material. Instead of the pipe hanger shown, the stud 24 may be affixed to any other suitable clamping member according to the material-sought to be suspended from the Wall or ceiling. It is also obvious that the plate 1() may be rotated about'the bolt Q0 to obtainv the desired adjustment of position.

In the form shown in Figs.. 3 and f1,- av

plate or bar -10 recessed at L11 is provided with lugs et?, 43 which are adapted to bear against the Wall or ceiling 16.` The plate 40 1s provided with an elongated. .lslot .4t-1 through which the bolt 20 is adapted to pass,I said bolt lbeing threaded into an anchorage 9'2 as described above. The stud 46 ,passes through the slot 111 and is threaded into a nut heldvin the recess 41, and the outer end ofsaid stud is threaded into the hanger yoke 2821s' described abo-te. In this formofthe devi@ a .single elongatedsl'ot receives the securing bolt and the stud for the hanger. *l

I T1th this arrangement. pipes, shaft hang- Vers and other devices maybe 'atlixed to 'a u'all in which are suitable anchorages. and placed in desired positions to ia nicetv, ivit-hout the necessity of accurately settingfthe positions of the anchorages. `When 4the form lof bracket shown in Figs. 3 and l is used, a headed bolt may be put through the slot with its head in the position of the nut 48 before the bracket is affixed to the Wall, or a T-shaped head may be put through the slot from the outside.4

What I claim is v 1.. An adjustable suspension bracket comy prising a barlsubstantially parallel with and spacedfrom the surface Vto which it is to be affixed. said bar having anelongated slot4 extending therethrough, a bolt extending 1through said slot and adapted to be secured in a position adjustable radially and longitudinally in respect to said bar, a stud adjustabljT connected with said bar and a holding device on said' stud. Y

Q. An adjustable suspension bracket, comprising a bar having` an elongated slot extending therethrough. lugs at either end of said slot adapted to rest upon the surface of the structure to which said bracket is to be affixed. said slot being adapted to receive a securing bolt. a stud threaded at one end into said bar to extend substantially at right angles from the wall or ceiling upon which the-bar is secured. a yoke threaded upon the other end of said stud and a strap secured to said yoke.

An adjustable suspension bracket, comprising a nut adapt'edto be secured in the, Wall to which the bracket is attached, a bar spaced from the Wall and having an elongated slot extending therefrom, a single bolt 11o' 1n a will or ceiling. to thereby hold said bar extending through the slot and threaded into the nut and fiholding device edjpetably secured to the bar. v

A11 adjustable suspension braeket2 comprisng 'a nutadapted to be secured v1n the Welt to which the bracket is to' be attached, a bar having projections which rest against the wall and space it from the Wall, and having anelongated slot extending through it', a

single bolt extending through theV slot-and threaded into the nut .in the Wall, to thereby hold said bei in a positionndjustable radially and longitudinally inrespect to said bar, a. stud adju-stably connected with sald bar and.' extending et substantially right 15 angles therefrom, a yoke secured to the outer Y engl of saidstud and a strap secured to said ycrke.y

n witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of May 1912.
